Get creative this Christmas

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s Disability charity, is looking forward to hosting a number of creative Christmas events this year.

The festive event schedule kicks off with a Wreath Making Workshop on Wednesday, November 27 at The Beehive with step-by-step guidance from Academy of Floristry. Followed by a second Wreath Making Workshop on Saturday, November 30 at Langside School. If you fancy something a bit different, the charity is also hosting a Garland Workshop on Wednesday, 4 December.

This is a fantastic opportunity to create a beautiful wreath or garland ready to decorate your door, table or staircase at Christmas, with specialist tuition and a seasonal atmosphere. Tickets are £49.50 per person and include all materials to make the festive wreath.

There’s also something for the kids with Christmas Biscuit Workshops hosted by Maggie ‘The Seaside Baker’, a popular contestant from the Great British Bake Off. The workshops will take place on Sunday, December 1 at ‘Gather’ in the Dolphin Shopping Centre in Poole, with 3 sessions to choose from for £5 per person. Maggie will be baking the biscuits ahead of time, and the charity will provide everything needed to uniquely decorate the biscuits on the day.

Mariana Swain, events executive at Diverse Abilities, said: “We are really looking forward to getting into the festive spirit, and helping people to create something special. It’s a great way to do something different with friends or family, as well as raising money to support the vital services run by Diverse Abilities for children and adults with disabilities across Dorset.”
